AFK Arena's new War of Wits mode (available now on your mobile store of choice) offers a wonderful combination of Auto Chess and Hearthstone. In real time, you and an opponent take it in turns drawing cards from a shared pool, as you attempt to build a powerful deck. The name is apt, as you have to split your focus between building your own deck and blocking your opponent from drawing that one card they need.
This doesn't sound very much like Auto Chess so far, we hear you cry, and you'd be right. That's where the deckbuilding comes in. The cards you're drawing are a combination of AFK Arena characters and buffs/debuffs. Much like in Auto Chess, the more characters you draw that share the same faction or class, the greater the buffs you'll receive as a result.
But the fact that it's all presented with lovely character cards - at least until you get to the battle sequence - makes it feel more like a Hearthstone. It's also very far from lite on strategy, which you'd be forgiven for believing given that this is simply a mode in a gacha game.
